a faithful town.’

Zion shall be redeemed with justice,

and her converts with righteousness.

and those who forsake the LORD shall be consumed.

For they shall be ashamed of the oaks which you have desired,

and you shall be confounded for the gardens that you have chosen.

30

For you shall be as an oak whose leaf fades,

and as a garden that has no water.

The strong will be like tinder,

and his work like a spark.

They will both burn together,

and no one will quench them.”
